I just got a report from MacDermid on Solder Mask Interface Attack Issue (SMIA) with Sterling Silver Process. Corrosive chemicals in the ImAg process get trapped under the soldermask edge and eat at the copper trace. They are experimenting with diffe

Curious, but thoughts are: * Your pretinning pot is loaded with gold that has been removed from lead over a period of time * Your failed solder connections are caused by something else other that gold intermetallics * Your tinning process is undiscip

In addition, if PBA is assembled by No Clean paste or flux, you could have some color changes un PCB, on solder joit, on component body, etc. But just a cosmetic pbm. Rgds

Aluminium tape adheres quite well and is not intrusive. I believe it's mentioned in KIC's articles as a good alternative to high-temp solder.

Copper dissolution is a major issue in lead-free soldering, but only when you use OSP boards. Nickel based plating eliminates the problem.

The biggest problem with double printing is that if the squeegee pressure and speed are correct, the stencil apertures are already filled with paste. Printing again can force paste between the bottom of the stencil and the top of the board creating
